Two chalets, one for each age
Chalet Budokan is the juniors' chalet: one camp with five morning programmes, and afternoons, evenings, meals and rooms shared by all juniors. Chalet Jolimont is the teens' own, right in the centre of the village, where seniors get some free time in small groups, with clear rules, check-in times and staff nearby.
Both are traditional Swiss chalets. Children sleep in shared rooms of 4 to 6, girls and boys in separate rooms, and our chef cooks homemade meals every day, mostly Swiss dishes. More photos on where they stay.

The mountains around the village
Around Les Diablerets the week fills itself: via ferrata and climbing on local crags, mountain bike trails, caving, glacier hikes for the teens, lake days, and a camping night with stargazing by an alpine lake. The afternoon choices change every week, so a second or third week in the village is never a repeat.

Where exactly are the chalets?
Both are in Les Diablerets: Chalet Jolimont in the centre of the village for the teens, and Chalet Budokan for the juniors. The exact address is sent before the camp.

No. Juniors (9 to 13) stay at Chalet Budokan and teens (14 to 17) at Chalet Jolimont, each with their own programme and team.
Can teens go into the village on their own?
Seniors get some free time in the village in small groups, with clear rules, check-in times and staff nearby. Juniors are supervised at all times.
What should my child pack for the mountains?
Clothes that dry fast (synthetic or wool), a warm fleece, a good rain jacket and broken-in shoes, plus a sleeping bag and mat for the nights in tents. The full list is in your family account.
What if my child is ill or hurt?
Someone responsible for first aid and crisis management is always present, a hospital is always reachable by car, and we call you at the first opportunity.
Can my child stay more than one week?
